Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleased with our overall experience at this resort. Traveled here for a short Fall Break excursion with 2 adults and 3 boys (2 teenagers and 1 preteen). There were plenty of options for fun things to do that kept us all entertained and happy. Highlights were the indoor water park and the escape room. We also got fun passes for all the boys. They all enjoyed the ropes course. The other activities were somewhat less thrilling, but still enjoyable, probably would be appreciated more by younger kids. Arcade was nice enough, but a money suck, like most arcades typically are. The 36 arcade credits included in our basic fun passes ran out very quickly. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and met all of our needs. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be about the pizza. My friend ordered 2 pizzas and a 2 liter, which was advertised on a poster in an elevator as a family meal deal for $34.99. But, upon delivery, she got charged nearly $70 (not including the tip) for that so-called deal plus some breadsticks she never asked for. So $35 more for 6 crappy unwanted breadsticks and the delivery fee?! Not to mention, the pizza was less than mediocre."

Econo Lodge Pigeon Forge Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"First time stayed in Econolodge Pigeon Forge, the location is incredibly close to everything, easy access, easy parking. The staffs were so helpful and informative, the breakfast was great, clean room, quiet environment eventhough the location is just on the side of busy road."

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older facility and it shows in the rooms, but don't let that deter you. It's very clean, everything works, and the beds are comfortable. In addition, the pool area is very well maintained and super cool! All of the staff was very helpful and pleasant. There is no provided breakfast but there is a restaurant onsite, serving breakfast to order or you can choose the decent buffet for 12 bucks. In the evening it becomes a pizza/pasta restaurant. The food is quite good! The downtown area is just a half-mile walk down the street. A very pleasant stay."

The Greystone Lodge on the River

10/10 Excellent

"Greystone is a great place to stay while in Gatlinburg. It's close to the Aquarium of the Smokies and to Anakeesta, as well as several places to eat. Close to the Village and Pancake Pantry. Park your car and walk the streets of Gatlinburg. The hotel even has a resident black bear that splits his time between Margaritaville and Greystone pleasing tourists with his presence. Just stay back and don't feed him!"

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. Our view was lovely. The hotel had everything we needed. We took advantage of the trolley so we didn’t have to find and pay for parking in Gatlinburg. It was an easy drive into the Park do to some hiking. Perfect for couples."
